Summary: GOOD OVERVIEW
Comment: this book, while not involved with alot of individual detail, is a great summary of important events throughout the cold war. i personally use it all of the time for quick referencing. i recommend it to anyone interested in the cold war.
Rating: 4
Summary: it's hard to cover eighty years in 300 pages
Comment: I had to read this book as part of my history graduate studies. While Powaski has a notable orthodox lean to the Cold War spin, towards the end, he notes "post-revisionistly" that both Russia and U.S. have to take blame. Not an easy read and with little if any original research (no Russian primary sources), but quite informative as a narrative of Cold War history...would have liked more information on the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5, which sort of started all the ill feelings in the first place.
Rating: 5
Summary: WOW Very well written, Wasn't one sided
Comment: This book went all the way back to pre-revolutionary times and started from there. Very very detailed view of what REALLY happened. Why, Who, and Other critical points of the relations between the Soviet Union and the U.S. in the Global Arena.
